SSurpal Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Hello all, My S1 is now working well mechanically, but I have a new problem . My tailgate used to shut correctly (A tug on the cable release and a push on the tailgate enabled the latch mechanism) . However now over any bump it opens. I am not sure that the mechanism is correct, photo is enclosed . The catch holding the tailgate down is clearly opening . Does anyone have a photo of what theirs looks like and what could be the problem/adjustment necessary ? It used to hold, so perhaps I just need to tighten the catch but not clear to me how. I do not have a rubber stop that I have seen on diagrams . Thanks for any help on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteyg Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Hope this helps. You will find you need to add some shims to the tailgate in order to get the catch to lock fully. Pete Quote Pete '79 S2 LEW Miss September 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
